Etiquette of walking in the cemetery and raising the voice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In the cemetery and at the burial of the deceased, Honorable Shaykh, some people walk in their shoes, prolong their conversation, and raise their voices. What is obligatory in this regard?
Answer:
As for walking in slippers out of necessity, such as thorns or heat, there is nothing wrong with that, provided that they do not step on the graves. Walking between the graves and on specific paths is permissible out of necessity. As for raising the voice and idle talk, this is disliked, because what is required in this situation is humility, supplication for the deceased, and remembering death and the like.
